Abstract
The transmutation of the fission product iodine has been studied by irradiation tests in the High Flux Reactor at Petten. Three different metal iodides, containing natural 127I , have been irradiated during eight reactor cycles (192.95 full power days): cerium iodide (CeI 3), sodium iodide (NaI) and lead iodide (PbI 2). The samples were encapsulated in 15–15 Ti stainless steel. The burn-up as well as the behaviour of the samples and cladding have been studied by post-irradiation examinations. Taking into account the physical properties and the experience from the fabrication of the targets, NaI seems to be the best target material for transmutation of iodine, although not ideal.
